If you walk into any Aldi in Florida on Thursday, Sept. 21, there’s a chance you could walk away with a job that pays as much as $59,000 a year.

Yes. You read that right.

As part of its massive U.S. expansion, Aldi is hosting hiring events at every single Florida location this week. The company plans to fill more than 500 positions with what it’s calling a hiring blitz.

We call it a golden opportunity at a beloved grocer.
